Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a secondary insertion and removal fixture for a programmable gate array card, belonging to the field of server component installation technology. Background Technology
[0002] When assembling a server programmable gate array (GGAR) card with its bracket, the GGAR card, Riser card, and bracket are assembled into a module. The GGAR card requires secondary insertion and removal, which is difficult for production line workers to operate. Improper operation can easily damage the Riser card and GGAR card, causing collisions and losses to the company. It is also difficult to operate and wastes manpower and time costs.
[0003] Manually inserting the programmable gate array (GGA) card into the Riser card bracket module requires holding the module with one hand and the GGA card body with the other for a second insertion and removal. After insertion and removal, the screws on both sides need to be tightened. This is extremely difficult to operate, and improper operation can easily damage the gold fingers of the GGA card and the Riser card slot. It is also prone to collisions. Furthermore, manually tightening the screws on both sides can easily cause collisions and damage to the card. This is inconvenient for employees to operate, wastes manpower and time, and causes employee fatigue with long-term operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a secondary insertion / removal fixture for programmable gate array (GGA) cards that can prevent employee fatigue, improve production efficiency, save manpower and resources, and effectively prevent damage to GGA cards and Riser cards.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] That is, a secondary insertion and removal tooling for an editable logic gate array card, including an operating table, a base plate on the operating table, a movable insertion and removal module for limiting the placement of a Riser module and an editable logic gate array card slidably mounted on the base plate, and an upper cover on the upper end of the movable insertion and removal module, with four protrusions on the lower end surface of the upper cover.
[0007] It also includes a screw conveying mechanism. The operating table is equipped with a left electric screwdriver that can move back and forth and two right electric screwdrivers that can move left and right. The front ends of the left and right electric screwdrivers extend into the screw conveying mechanism.
[0008] Using the removable programmable gate array card of this invention can prevent employee fatigue, facilitate operation, improve production efficiency, and save manpower and resources. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent damage to the programmable gate array card and the Riser card, prevent collisions, effectively protect the card itself, and greatly save costs.
[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the screw conveying mechanism includes a vibratory feeder, the outlet end of which is connected to a screw guide groove, and the front ends of the left and right electric screwdrivers extend into the screw guide groove. A large number of screws are placed in the vibratory feeder, and under the vibration of the vibratory feeder, the screws enter the screw guide groove one by one from the outlet of the vibratory feeder, realizing automatic screw feeding, and the feeding speed is suitable and adjustable.
[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the vibratory feeder includes two, and the screw guide groove is provided with a notch. The screw guide groove of one of the vibratory feeders is matched with the left electric screwdriver, and the front end of the left electric screwdriver extends into the screw guide groove through the notch.
[0011] The screw guide groove of the other vibratory feeder mates with the right electric screwdriver, with the tip of the right electric screwdriver extending into the screw guide groove through a notch. The torque and speed of the left and right electric screwdrivers are adjusted via the control panel to adapt to the feeding speed. The left and right electric screwdrivers are movable, automating the screw installation process by installing screws one by one onto the Riser module and the programmable gate array card.
[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the left and right electric screwdrivers are each driven by their respective lead screw and nut pairs. Using lead screw and nut pairs to drive the left and right electric screwdrivers allows for precise adjustment of the screwdriver feed speed, resulting in smoother screw installation.
[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the movable plug-in module includes a flat plate and a vertical plate connected as one piece, and a limiting plate is fixedly provided on one end of the bottom plate and both sides.
[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the movable plug-in module is mounted on the base plate via a first lead screw and nut assembly, and the flat plate, vertical plate, and limiting plate of the movable plug-in module form a limiting groove for placing the Riser module and the programmable gate array card. The limiting groove formed between the flat plate, vertical plate, and limiting plate of the movable plug-in module is used to place the Riser module and the programmable gate array card, and the limiting structure is simple and reliable.
[0015] A further improvement of the invention is that the top cover is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the movable plug-in module. The rotatable top cover switch is very convenient.
[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that a handle is provided on the front end face of the vertical plate of the movable plug-in module. The operator can easily pull the movable plug-in module by holding the handle.
[0017] A further improvement of the present invention is that the operating table is provided with a whole machine switch, a secondary plug-in switch, an operating screen, a left electric screwdriver control button for controlling the left electric screwdriver switch, and a right electric screwdriver control button for controlling the right electric screwdriver switch.
[0018] A further improvement of the present invention is that the lead screw and nut pair for controlling the movement of the left and right electric screwdrivers is mounted on the operating table.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] Using the removable programmable gate array card of this invention can prevent employee fatigue, facilitate operation, improve production efficiency, and save manpower and resources. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent damage to the programmable gate array card and the Riser card, prevent collisions, effectively protect the card itself, and greatly save costs.
